Benzino talks squashing 20-years old beef with Eminem, asks Royce 5’9″ to apologize for attacking his daughter Coi Leray

Benzino has recently chatted with VLAD TV where the former The Source talked about squashing 20-years old beef with Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″ attacking his daughter Coi Leray on Twitter.

“Eminem’s fans are probably the most disrespectful fans but disrespectful in a way that they love their artist and you know what? I understand. They come at me with the stuff you can’t imagine and it’s been for years. I tried the ways to ignore it but the only way that I can put this to an end to not mess up my kid’s career, is to say, what I probably should have said long time ago, is that Eminem is a part of hip-hop. Eminem is a dope artist. He is a part of hip-hop regardless of what he said or done. People change. Who am I to judge.” said Benzino

“It’s not like I never liked Eminem songs. I like bunch of his songs. It’s not like he’s disrespecting me. It’s his fans. His fans are the worst bro. They are disrespectful. But Eminem is a part of hip-hop culture. He’s one of the best that ever rocked the mic. He’s very lyrically talented and if that’s what his fans needed to hear so that they can leave me alone, then so be it.” Benzino added.

Later in the interview, Zino talked about Royce attacking his daughter Coi Leray on Twitter: “Royce said pretty nasty things about my daughter and I’m hoping that he finds within himself to apologize. I believe what he said was not wanted. I hope he sees me being a bigger man and he can be a bigger man to apologize the s**t that he said about Coi because I took that serious. I will be in Detroit soon. Hopefully we can get face to face and it would be his best interest to apologize.”

Big Proof tribute songs: Eminem, Royce 5’9″, Obie Trice, Kuniva, Swifty McVay, Jem

On this day (April 11), 16 years ago in 2006, Big Proof was shot and killed in Detroit.

To celebrate the life of the legendary figure in hip-hop we have listed songs that were dedicated to Proof after his death. 

Royce Da 5’9″ – Security

“I was at Proof’s funeral / Crying like a baby, I was sitting in the back row / With Kid Vishis, wishing I can go up to Marshall / Denaun, Swifty, Obie, Bizarre, Paul and Von / And say something positive, after all the negative s**t that we been through.”

Eminem – “Difficult”

“I found that jacket that you left at my wedding and I picked it up to smell it / I wrapped it up in plastic until I put it in glass and hang up in the hallway so I can always look at it…”

Kuniva – “Lights Out”

“This s**t is so depressing /I stop thinking selfish, my dude had kids / Left with a lie about the last day that he lived / And I sit shedding tears, that’s me and my little drama / I lost me a brother, but his kids lost a father.”

Swifty McVay – “Guardian Angel”

“Your family is stronger than ever / Keeping it cool / Thanks to God /Time heals wounds / I’ll see you soon / Sometimes it gets hard / My heart is still scarred / But I’m gonna be repping Proof forever / ‘Till I’m gone!”

Eminem – “You’re Never Over”

“Proof, not many are lucky enough to have a guardian angel like you / Lord I’m so thankful, please don’t think that I don’t feel grateful, I do / Just grant me the strength that I need, for one more day to get through / So hommie this is your song, I dedicate this to you / I love you Doodie.”

Obie Trice – Ride Wit Me 

“Proof, to shine hopes on your memories forever spoken, long as Obie’s able to lay focus / I’m gonna stay focused til them pearly gates open, for the next soldier to pave the way for mo-town / No matter what they say you’re profound, Pioneer of Motown music that’s what Proof did.”

Jem – You Will Make It

“You’re not alone, You’ll never be, Just like the stars, They oversee , And they whisper to you, You’re still, you’re still, you’re still, you’re still alive..” 

D12 – “Mr. Pitts,” ft. King Gordy 

“We all love driving, reminiscing about how me, you (Bugz) and Proof used to go fishing / I wanna give you a call but I don’t know what to say / That’s why I get on my knees every night and I start to pray.”

Royce 5’9″ calls out Jimmy Iovine for ignoring The Game at LA Lakers game

After his appearance on Drink Champs last couple of week, The Game’s dissension with Dr. Dre and Interscope Records escalated quickly.

During the interview, The Compton rapper said Kanye West did more for him in a matter of weeks than Dr. Dre has his entire career.

It seems that the tension between Jimmy Iovine and The Game is real as a video clip surfaced this week where Game and Iovine crossed paths at the Lakers vs. 76ers game at the Staples Center without even looking at each other.

Royce Da 5’9″ used the opportunity to back up The Game and shade Jimmy Iovine on social media by sharing two video clips on Instagram. One video is from an interview where Jimmy Iovine said that there were not many partnerships between White and Black people, implying that he and Dre did it. Second video is Game and Iovine briefly crossing paths at the Lakers game.

In the caption, Royce wrote: “The music business in 2 slides,” along with a peace sign emoji and an eye-rolling emoji.

In support on Jimmy, Ben Baller, a former Vice President of A&R for Aftermath, commented: “Jimmy Iovine helped me get my job with Dre even though I knew Dre. Real talk? He did this to me tw times at a Lakers game and now we work together again! He is old bro. He probably did not even know Game.”

Royce 5’9″ reacts to The Game sayin he’s better than Eminem

During his recent appearance on Drink Champs with NORE and DJ EFN, The Game said he used to think Eminem was better than him but now he thinks he is not.

On a recent Instagram Livestream with producer Mike Zombie, who has been in the studio with Game, Royce 5’9″ offered his thoughts about the situation:

“I have seen it, whenever anybody mention Em’s name they make it a headline. … But I feel like, every MC should feel like that. Game is a monster. He will just have his hands full. Eminem is a hard dude to out-rap. Nine times out of 10, you will be sending him your verse or when he get your verse…he gonna aim to out-rap you. He probably ain’t get out-rapped ever, that competitive edge is always there.” – said Royce.

Mike Zombie, who recently recently produced Eminem’s “These Demons,” from Music To Be Murdered By album, added that The Game and Eminem should collab again for the culture.

“They have to do it for the culture… Eminem is my favorite rapper of all time. Can’t nobody outrap him but this needs to happen.”

Royce 5’9″ talks if Eminem is to be blamed for Slaughterhouse’s unsuccessful debut

Royce 5’9″ has recently done a livestream question and answer session on Instagram. The Detroit legend was asked if Eminem was to blame for the unsuccessful start of Slaughterhouse when they dropped their Shady Records debut album Welcome To: Our House in 2011.

“Do I blame Marshall for Our House? What do you mean? The way it came out? Em put his f**king soul into Our House. Em probably put as much work as I did in that project.” said Royce.

Royce continues: “When I collaborate with somebody, especially like Em, first of all, I’m always going to trust his judgment. Same way with Preem. I’mma trust his judgment. I’m a firm believer in roles. People play roles depending on what situation it is. Whenever I’m working with Em, I play a position, very rarely do I try to play the lead position because I know that’s something he used to do. Same with Preem. We disagree in lots of things. If there is something he feels super strongly about, I go against my better judgment because I know if Preem is wrong then I’m willing to take the L with him. If he is right, you can’t be more right. And I feel the same way about Marshall.”

“Marshall had a vision for Our House and when we put it out, fans thought it was too polished. I’m very aware of all the mistakes we made creatively and I can take the blame for a lot of those. I don’t blame Marshall anything for creatively. I see the mistakes that were made but I told him don’t trip on that. Cause he felt like ‘I touched too much, I did too much.’ And I was like ‘Nah, don’t even do that. If its L to take, we going to take it together.’ It was all good when we were in the studio together. We had the same energy so ain’t nobody to blame. I appreciate the work Eminem put in it.” Royce added.

Royce 5’9″ says he didn’t take Eminem’s side against Slaughterhouse

Last month, Joell Ortiz and Kxng Crooked announced that they are releasing a collaboration project, titled The Rise and Fall of Slaughterhouse on March 11, 2022.

After hearing the very first single “Vacancy,” Joe Budden and Royce 5’9″ each opined on the move through social media, expressing displeasure.

Joe and Royce had much more to say, in a lengthy Instagram Live conversation. After nearly an hour, Joell Ortiz joined the late Friday night discussion. The exchange got heated, especially between Joell and Joe.

Now the two did an Instagram live session again, where Royce revealed something that nobody knew.

“They are like ‘oh you took Joe’s side.’ Do you know how insulting that is? To be accused of taking somebody’s side against somebody else’s? I didn’t even take Eminem’s side against Slaughterhouse and that’s my beloved, my loved one. If I was looking at it from an economic standpoint, I would choose Bad Meets Evil over Slaughterhouse!” said Royce.

Joe Budden & Joell Ortiz got into heated argument about Slaughterhouse break-up

Kxng Crooked and Joell Ortiz have recently announced their new collaborative project, titled “The Rise And Fall Of Slaughterhouse.” The two also dropped the first two singles off the project and Royce 5’9″ and Joe Budden are not happy about it.

Yesterday, Joe Budden and Joell Ortiz exchanged some harsh words on Instagram live chat. Things took a turn after Joell called out Budden and Royce Da 5’9 for spinning some “wild a*s narrative” about his and Crooked’s forthcoming album.

“Y’all out here running around with some wild a*s narrative, lying about me and Crooked like we went and took a bag. Y’all got people out here saying we doing things for a bag. I never done nothing for a bag.”

Joell continued, “Y’all know me better than that. If anybody spinning the narrative, it’s y’all two gentlemen. Especially you, Royce. You out here talking about the 25 percent. You had 25 percent and you burned it down. You doing all types of mathematical equations about housing ownership and s**t. The bottom line is this: Crooked brought a bag to the table for something y’all ain’t been f**king with for a long time.”

Joell later asked Joe to support the album instead of hate, on which, the response was pretty harsh: “Suck my ***k. Are you kidding me?” Joe snapped.

“N***a, suck my d**k, don’t go there. Don’t do that. That little comment right there. You gonna wish you retracted that one.” said Joell and left the chat.

Royce 5’9″ is upset with Joell Ortiz and KXNG Crooked for releasing “Vacancy”

Yesterday, KXNG Crooked and Joell Ortiz teamed up to drop their new single “Vacancy,” featuring Blaak Soul, from their upcoming joint project, titled Rise & Fall Of Slaughterhouse.

In the song, the two former Slaughterhouse emcees reflect on their group’s break up and pack up Slaughterhouse mementos, which cause Royce Da 5’9″ to feel very unhappy, in fact, upset.

In one of the Instagram comments, Royce said: “So disappointed in them.” and indicated that some of the lines Crooked and Joell rapped were lies.

Royce even called out his Slaughterhouse brothers on Twitter, saying: “This is the dumbest s**t I’ve EVER seen a smart person do.. 2 smart people.. Together… United in stupidity..”

Utah Jazz’s Donovan Mitchell stars in the new Adidas commercial.

The ad is written and narrated by Royce da 5’9”, and will air locally and nationally during local broadcasts of Mitchell’s games in the weeks ahead.

We talkin’ bout Spider? 
Standing just six foot three 
In a league full of incredible giants
I don’t think he’ll ever make it
But at least I’ll give him credit for tryin’
How come nobody ever glamorizes the process 
Probably too busy fantasizing about the outcome 
What we talkin’ bout? 
SPIDER! 
2018 slam dunk winner
Rookie of the year
But the world ain’t give him that
He don’t need no trophy case
Cause the world can’t fit in that
All he needs is the opps and some ventilation 
And Donovan is giving the rock to the next generation

                                                  – narrates Royce.
